$67 after tax for primitive. Overpriced. Nice place though. Easy to get in. Great for kids, but those us passing through…don’t.

Multiple RV campgrounds surround Ontario, Wisconsin, providing full-hookup sites for RV travelers. Wildcat Mountain State Park Campground offers electric sites for RVs with hiking trails and scenic views along the Kickapoo River, open year-round with no sewer hookups. Whiskey Creek Family RV Park features 55 sites with full hookups including water, electric, sewer, and 50-amp service on level sites. Neshonoc Lakeside Camping Resort, located near West Salem, caters primarily to RVs with full hookup options, two swimming pools, and lakefront sites open from April to October. "Sites are basic with water, pit toilets, tables and fire rings," noted one visitor about Sparta Campground along the Elroy-Sparta State Trail.
Kennedy County Park provides affordable overnight RV parking about 5 miles off I-90 with grassy, level sites for $10 per night, though without hookups. For RV travelers seeking full amenities, Yukon Trails Camping Resort between Ontario and the Wisconsin Dells offers electric and water hookups, a swimming pool, and dump station access from April through mid-October. Larger rigs should check ahead at some parks, as one camper mentioned, "They could have used a little TLC on the roads into the sites as the rain created large holes and puddles which were a bit hard to navigate a trailer or motorhome." Many campgrounds in the region require reservations during peak summer and fall weekends, with most parks closing by mid-October. Cell service varies throughout the region's valley terrain, with stronger signals at campgrounds near main highways.

Patrick W.GuideKickapoo Valley Reserve
Site B 4H campground. Very spacious site, very far away from any other campsites. Down a trail between some cornfields. Has a fire pit and a wood log as a seat. There are no other amenities. Very clean no trash. It’s a backpack in sight. Plenty of down firewood to use. There really isn’t any water close by. But a short walk you can get to some water to filter by campsite D. If you want it further walk, there’s some small creeks that you can filter from. There will literally be no one around you except maybe some visiting coyotes.

RangerSugar Creek City Campground
Despite its limitations, this city campground definitely suited our purpose for a 1-2 night stay in late October. Yes, there are trains and highway traffic. Correct, there are only 110 hookups. However, this space is also suitable for larger RV's IF experienced with dispersed camping. We stayed in our 43-ft motorhome and found #6 (to the left of the site near the playground) was pretty level. Did not need elec bc able to get solar charge on our panels where we parked. Great little playground if you have kids!! My only caution is if it's wet -- larger rigs might sink in the grass. We were lucky to have beautiful weather while there! Easy to grab an envelope near entrance & deposit $$ in the dropbox.
Allen B.GuideGreat River Bluffs State Park Campground
Nice place
Nice campground sites are smaller & you will need to level. Nice clean flush toilets & showers. Can hear the highway below. Road in is gravel & narrow not for big rigs.

TravelerNorthern Lights Campground — Devils Lake State Park
Great State Park
Stay here for a long weekend. The weather finally cooled down. Great hiking and beautiful views. There’s a lake for swimming and boating without motors. Very hilly area. We stayed at a double site and met relatives.

Woods Edge Campground

Last minute phone call reservation...early evening...We told the lady on the phone we would be arriving late...She stated she would email me specifics on the camp site etc. For one reason or another I never received the email. We arrived about 11pm. No information left for us in regards to site etc.,so we found what looked like an easy site to back into for the night. I made contact again via telephone with the same lady to get bath house code and mentioned to her that I never received the email....She was very nice and polite. Perhaps an envelope with information left out in addition to an email may have helped. However it was a nice campground, clean, safe, and secure ,Decent level lot with elec and water...Dump station on site.....I would use this campground again if I'm ever in the area. Even when you hit a snag such as not getting the check in email it sure is nice to hear a pleasant voice at the other end of the line.

Beautiful Spot on the River
Quiet, beautiful and good facilities. Showers .25 for 5 minutes. We are here midweek in September so even the occupied sites only have people staying there in the weekends.

Beautiful, clean, fun
I was a little skeptical after a negative review about the regular residents, so I watched for that dynamic. We were camping with another family so we had 8 kids between the two of us and I was worried all those kiddos would upset people. Quite the opposite experience from that review and it motivated me to leave this one to help provide a good picture. I have nothing bad to say about our camping experience. We did go a little out of season (September 12) so a lot of the campsites were empty. Most their sites are flat, and clean. The grass was well mowed and maintained. They had activities for the kids (Halloween). People that drove by were friendly and smiling, and waiving. We had people drop off candy for the kids asking parents first. We had people offer basketballs for our kids to use while they were away from their site. Me and my friend were about to haul ice bags and wood up a huge hill on foot and someone stopped their golf cart and emptied it of what they were carrying to give us a ride to our campsite. The kids tootled about on their bikes being kids with no negative experiences. There were a couple of kids on motor scooters whose engines were kind of obnoxious but that’s going to happen more and more at campgrounds, and it wasn’t during quiet hours. We had sites atop the “full Lakeview” and it was honestly surprising how beautiful it was up there. I think it can be difficult to get a view when you’re camping but those sites had it. We knew the full lake view sites were open so we took the cheaper ones across from them, but still saw the same view. There was a great amount of space between the sites we used. The only possible critique I might offer is in that specific row there weren’t many trees for shade, but the weather was cooler so it didn’t affect us, but if we went in the summer it might have been more uncomfortable without that natural shade. The bath houses and showers were great!!! I feel like a good bath house can make or break a campsite and we’ve been to some smaller ones that were quite lacking but this one was great. Very clean, not many bugs, spacious, real doors on the shower stalls. We did not arrive in season to utilize the pool area but it looked great from the other side of the gate ;) - the parks were well maintained and the kids loved them. there was a set of stairs that went from up the hill down to the office that looked a little sketchy but they were closed off for use. If you didn’t have a golf cart or couldn’t ride a bike, the trek from where we stayed to the office might be a challenge. Overall we loved it and would definitely consider going again. The sites were a little pricey but had on site sewer hookup which is fantastic.

East Fork Campground
Camp on the Black River
The East Fork part of the campground is a beautiful area along the river. The sites are nicely spaced and there are pit toilets located throughout. The animals came alive at night and we could hear coyote packs howling to each other, owls hunting, and the crickets and frogs are still going. September makes for hot days and pretty cold nights, but there was good tree cover, that still allowed to see the ALL the stars. There was plenty of room for the 2 allowed cars. Site 124 is located at the end of a loop with dumpsters nearby, that were empty and clean. A very nice place to spend a couple nights!
Guide to Ontario
Camping options near Ontario, Wisconsin range from basic sites with vault toilets to full-service RV parks with amenities like swimming ponds and recreational facilities. The region sits in the Driftless Area, characterized by steep ridges, deep valleys, and the meandering Kickapoo River flowing through at approximately 820 feet elevation. Winter temperatures can drop below zero, while summer camping season typically runs May through October with daytime highs in the 70s-80s°F.
What to do
Kayaking on the Kickapoo River: Access the winding Kickapoo River directly from Wildcat Mountain State Park Campground. "Great location for kayaking and hiking. The facilities are well maintained and clean... Ontario to bridge 5 was 2.5 hours," notes one camper who enjoyed the river.
Explore hiking trails: The driftless region offers unique terrain for hikers of all levels. "Ice Cave trail was a neat, quick walk. The trails around have gorgeous views of the driftless area and Kickapoo river," reports a visitor to Wildcat Mountain. Another camper mentioned, "We hiked a short distance into our site. We had to pass a grassy area that was always full of bunnies!"
Fishing opportunities: Several lakes and streams provide fishing options. "Lake Neshonoc is great! Great place to go kayak, decent place to fish, and good access to bike trail. The lake is about 600 acres in size and about 11 feet deep at the deepest point. Lake Sturgeon, Bass, Muskie, Pike, Walleye, and Bluegill can be caught at this location," shares a camper at Neshonoc Lakeside Camping Resort.
What campers like
Swimming options: Many campgrounds offer water recreation beyond just the river. "With 2 swimming pools, daily activities, movies, and a full ice cream shop you won't be bored here. The owners were super friendly and helpful. The top pool is very large and new with a splash pad area. The lower pool is older and smaller, and where grown ups tend to go for a dip," explains a visitor about Neshonoc Lakeside.
Family activities: Campgrounds in the area often schedule events. "We stayed over memorial weekend with a group of friends... If you're looking to escape into nature, this is not your park. If you want full hook ups and a summer camp family experience, this is great. Our kiddo had so much fun at the pools," notes a family who visited Neshonoc Lakeside Camping Resort.
Peaceful environment: Whiskey Creek Family RV Park offers "a beautiful white sand beach around a 1-acre swim pond. The water was the color of the Caribbean with these huge blow-up toys and slides in the middle. Kids loved it." Another camper mentioned enjoying "the nature trails and fly fishing for trout on the riverbank. Very peaceful and relaxing."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Most rv parks in Ontario, Wisconsin and the surrounding area have limited operating seasons. For example, Yukon Trails Camping Resort runs "from April 15 to October 15," similar to many area campgrounds.
Site variations: Campground conditions can vary significantly. At Fox Hill RV Park, "There are 2 main sections of the campground: the new part that is all full hook-up RV sites and the older part which is a mix of W/E and S/W/E. The new section will be a lot better next year, but just finished construction and it is still a wide open area. It was dusty and hot because the grass isn't gown in yet."
Water considerations: Water quality varies by location. One camper at Ho-Chunk RV Resort and Campground warned, "Make sure to use a water filter outside your camper. The water left an orange residue in our dog bowls, sinks and pipes."
Maintenance issues: Some campgrounds require more maintenance than others. One camper at Arrowhead RV Campground noted, "Good size sites but bring extension cords for electrical hook ups.... Odd outlet placement, very clean and friendly office personal."
Tips for camping with families
Check activity schedules: Many campgrounds offer organized recreation. At Neshonoc Lakeside Camping Resort, campers report "daily activities, movies, tie dye, outdoor movies, and other relay races kept the kids happy and adults amused. Sunday night a jimmy buffet cover band played."
Consider pool options: Swimming facilities make a big difference for families. "They have two pools and a hot tub! They recently set up a Bloody Mary bar on the weekends and have bands by the lower pool. The lake is awesome and they have a small beach for campers to swim," shared a visitor to Neshonoc Lakeside.
Look for recreation variety: Arrowhead RV Campground offers "a cool swimming pond with inflatables, live music most weekends, corn hole tournaments, Friday fish fry, and much more." Another family mentioned, "Great campground for families with kids and teens. Tons of activities all around the campground. There were outdoor movies, put-put, corn hole, two pools, huge trampoline, volleyball nets, disc golf, and a Christmas in July festival."
Tips from RVers
Extension cord requirements: At several rv parks in Ontario, Wisconsin and surrounding areas, electrical connections require planning. "Friendly and helpful front desk. Pool is very nice. Perfect water temperature in June. Clean facilities. Camping spots are a little rough terrain, TT is level without levelers, but bring them just in case. Make sure you bring 50 ft of electrical cord and water hose," advises an RVer at Arrowhead RV Campground.
Site selection strategy: Choose wisely based on your preferences. "Despite the very crowded campground, the bathrooms were immaculate. Even the Men's room was super clean. They have 3 indoor showers in each gender bathroom, and a couple of outdoor shower stalls," notes a visitor to Fox Hill RV Park who chose "a smaller campsite with just W/E because there are trees and shade, and it just feels a little more like camping."
Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require extra equipment for leveling. "Our site was very unlevel side to side. It took two 2x6 and a 1x6 under the camp side to be level. That made the first step into the coach, and last step out of the coach extremely high off the ground," reported a camper at Fox Hill RV Park.
